The Rare Books and Manuscripts Section of ACRL and the Society of American Archivists recently created a task force to review and revise the Guidelines for Primary Source Literacy.
 
This Task Force would like your input. We need everyone who teaches with primary sources to complete this survey, whether you have ever used the Guidelines or not.
 
If you aren’t familiar with the Guidelines, please take a look at them and let us know if/how you would use them.
 
This 10 question survey will take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. All answers will be anonymous and data will only be viewed and tabulated by members of the Task Force. Your answers will guide the taskforce during the revision process. The survey will be open through May 4, 2025.

There will also be a public comment period later in the process, so this is not your only chance to give feedback. The task force plans to finalize the revised guidelines by the summer of 2028.

Primary Source Literacy Guidelines Feedback Survey

Any and all feedback will be crucial in our work, so please pass this along to anyone who works with primary sources in their teaching, librarian or otherwise.

Thank you so much,
